Jennifer,
I've been in therapy now for like 9 months and spent most of the first 5 months looking at the floor and saying "i don't know." Then next 2 months expressing myself in written form. It has only been in the last 2 months that I've actually started to force my mouth to speak. Just keep plugging away. I can't say at this point it gets any easier. But I can say, if you have a good T, the crap inside will eventually make it out in one form or another.
